boddle, bodle: a coin of insignificant value.

I am not sure if that is a goblin or a house spirit but I will not give you a boddle more than four shillings, sixpence and three farthings.

I know you like to sell on added value extras and extended warranties and the like but I am not having any of it.

I know because a fortune teller of the female persuasion skilled in the traditional Highland arts of divination told me to keep my lucky coin close to my heart and not to part with the tiniest value more than the agreed asking price and I will have good luck all my days – so I am going to do what she has foretold to me.
